 Secretariat
Run Your Race
Darrel Manson
Comparisons to the film Seabiscuit will be inevitable. In both
films the horses serve as something of a metaphor that defines and
inspires the people that work with the horses.

 Buried
You'd Want To Get Out, Too
David Bruce
Ryan Reynolds in a box. But I gotta tell you... this one deserves the good reviews it's getting. What would you do if you thought you had limited time to live? Reynolds plays this 90-minute dilemma amazingly. Life is precious.

 Operation Narnia
Fox/Walden, the studio producing December's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, first announced this endeavor back in August:
When the Pevensie children first arrive in Narnia it was
always winter and never Christmas. This year, we've launched OPERATION
NARNIA, a partnership with Samaritan's Purse, to provide Christmas to
needy children around the world.
Georgie Henley ("Lucy Pevensie") has recorded a special introductory video for our websitedesigned to encourage families, churches, and ministries to create shoe
boxes filled with necessities, toys, and Christmas greetings. Imagine
the impact and smile each box will bring to a child in need on
Christmas morning. If you've been thinking about getting involved, but haven't done it yet... GET ON THE STICK! Shoeboxes need to be in soon in order to be delivered overseas by Christmas.
Here's a summary of articles posted at Hollywood Jesus this weekend
about Operation Narnia (click on the headers for the full articles):
For several years, Samaritan's Purse has hosted this noble project
in order to show millions of needy children in more than 130
poverty-stricken countries the love and magic of Christmas through
shoebox gifts. A shoebox gift could be the first gift they ever
receive, and it could change their lives. What Operation Narnia Can DoGreg Wright | 4 CommentsI was in something of an emotional fog. I felt so small, and yet so
rich. That's when Jenn pointed out the child on a bed in the corner,
smiling hugely. And that's when it struck me: "Whatever you do unto the
least of these, you do unto me." Mark Sommer | No CommentsOperation Christmas Child provides shoe boxes filled with toys and
necessities to needy children around the world as part of Franklin
Grahm's Samaritan's Purse. OCC is partnering with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie. Click through to see how you can get involved. Mike Furches | No CommentsIn a world when few see the importance film can make, it is nice to
see Walden Media Group working together with Operation Christmas Child
with the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. You can be a part of making a difference in a child's life. Will you?

Let Me In Roundtable 2
Matt Reeves and Kodi Smit-McPhee 10/10/10 | Comment Here"She was not 250 years old inside of a 12-year-old body," says
Reeves of his vampire protagonist. "What she was was a girl who was
trapped at this stage of life and she had to learn how to be a survivor
but she was still emotionally 12." Let Me In Roundtable 1
Elias Koteas and Dylan Minnette 10/10/10 | Comment Here "When you are not really living in the truth somehow, that just
keeps feeding negativity," says Koteas. "And that just somehow... I'm
just thinking out loud... it creates an energy that is just ripe for
deceit, bullying... to me the movie is that." |
Silent Tribute Series, Part VIII Fritz Nosferatu | 10/10/10 | Comment Here
Being born bow-legged and speaking with a
stuttering lisp is not the ideal background for a film and stage
performer, unless you planned on being featured in a Tod Browning film.
Yet this is how young William Henry Pratt began life in November of 1887 in London, England. And
just as one of his most famous characters eventually learned to speak,
young William also overcame his stutter and went on to become perhaps
the most famous horror actor of all time: Boris Karloff. (Horror fans, you may be seated.) For most horror film aficionados, Boris Karloff will be forever associated with his role as Frankenstein's monster. Based loosely on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein (aka The Modern Prometheus), the movie presented production challenges to filmmakers, not the least of which was how to make the monster scary...

 Midnight Reckoning
Redemptive Thriller... With A Twist
Greg Wright
Coming to DVD October 21. If you were Joe, you'd probably reach a point
through all of this where you'd start wishing that your recent past
wouldn't catch up to you, that you could pick Plan B instead of
obvious, easy Plan A.
